EMBO Conference on Advances in Stem Cell Research: Development, Regeneration & Disease in Paris - France

Stem cell biology progresses very rapidly, in terms of identification of stem cells, their basic biology and role in development and regeneration. Unravelling these mechanisms leads to new concepts and strategies for clinical intervention, including disease modelling, drug screening, and cell therapy.

SCIENTIFIC SESSIONS:
- Regulated and deregulated self-renewal in development and disease
- Generation and regeneration
- Translating stem cells into the clinic
